FTA satellite in La Marina, Costa Blanca

[kev11]

I have a holiday home in La Marina, Costa Blanca. We were viewing via Telemicro, now defunct. We have a 90cm dish still in place from earlier Sky receiver. As we only visit 4 or 5 times a year I am looking for a cheap alternative. Ideally I am thinking of something FTA. I also have a Phoenix receiver,currently in use in the UK, which I could install if it is usable.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Anything on here from either Eurobird 1 or Astra 2 south beams should be OK on a 90cm dish I would have thought.Astra 2D is not an option on a 90cm in your location.

You can also go to lyngsat.com and check the footprints yourself there.


Any digital satellite FTA receiver would do for the FTA channels.

We have an apartment in Torrevieja, just up the road from La Marina, and have an 80cm dish, and as Robbo says, pick up Astra2 south beam and quite a few on Eurobird1. I have an old Skybox which will give you BBC news, Sky news about four or five movie channels, plus other assorted ones, and all the BBC radio stations. With a Sky freesat card, which I have, you can also get Channel 5, Fiver, and Five US but not sure how long that will last as they may be moving to 2D in the future.
